Salt

Oh, you poor boy out in the water
It’s sad now, looking back from here
It’s bad, oh so bad the things you had to see
Now I know that your heart just pumps blood all the time
And I know that your mind keeps playing all your thoughts
And I know that you only stand to see the best in me
I was saved by salt
Sugar and pills
Yeah, I was saved from all the things
That you could have possibly come after me
I was saved by salt
I was saved by her swinging
She talked about saving my soul
But I just wanted to be whole with you
When I was reaching for the best you had to give
I really wanted all your worst to fall in, dear
When I got ripped off your hands
Freezing hands out west
Was when my hunger for her
Drowned me up in dust
And now my fire grows as I walk down
Your lips are slow around your mouth
Inside this house
Time has stopped for me
I was saved by salt
Sugar and pills
Yeah, I was saved from all the things
That you could have possibly come after me
I was saved by salt
I was saved by her swinging
She talked about saving my soul
But I just wanted to be whole with you
